2001-06-22Aerial View of Sea-Tac Airport Expansion, Highway, and Adjacent Residential Development
Aerial photograph showing a large airport with runways under construction or expansion in the background, a multi-lane highway running diagonally through the frame, a small pond surrounded by green space, and a residential apartment complex in the foreground. The proximity of the residential development, green buffer zone, and airport infrastructure suggests this image relates to land use and noise-impact planning near a major airport, consistent with Sea-Tac Airport environs. -
2001-06-22Sea-Tac Airport Runways with Retention Pond Under Construction and Adjacent Warehouse Buildings
Aerial photograph showing Sea-Tac Airport runways and taxiways in the upper portion of the frame, with a retention/detention pond under construction in the middle ground and commercial/industrial warehouse buildings in the foreground. The image appears to document airport-adjacent land use and stormwater infrastructure, likely relevant to airport expansion or environmental compliance activities. -
2001-06-22Aerial View of Industrial Development Near Sea-Tac Airport and Puget Sound
Aerial photograph showing a developing industrial or business park complex with warehouse-style buildings, surrounded by open fields and wetland buffers. In the background, a large airport facility consistent with Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is visible, along with Puget Sound and surrounding suburban development. -
2001-06-22Aerial View of Road Tunnel Beneath Sea-Tac Airport Runway With Boeing Facility in Background
Aerial photograph showing a multi-lane road passing through a tunnel beneath an airport runway, with what appears to be a large aircraft manufacturing or maintenance facility visible in the upper left background bearing a partially visible logo consistent with Boeing. Construction activity, retention ponds, and utility infrastructure are visible in the surrounding undeveloped land. -
2001-06-22Aerial View of Highway Interchange Construction Near Airport Infrastructure
Aerial photograph showing a multi-lane divided highway with an overpass/interchange under active construction, with heavy equipment visible along the roadway. A large forested parcel and what appears to be airport-related infrastructure, including what may be a retention or treatment pond, are visible in the upper portion of the image. -

Letter dated January 21, 2001 from Tom Luster, Washington State Department of Ecology, to Senator Julia Patterson of the Washington State Senate, responding to her request for information on Ecology’s Section 401 Clean Water Act review of the proposed SeaTac Airport expansion. Luster provides a brief assessment of key issues including antidegradation requirements, beneficial uses, -
2000-02-25Letter to U.S. Senators Gorton and Murray Regarding Sea-Tac Airport Safety Issues
In February 2000, the Regional Commission on Airport Affairs (RCAA) wrote to U.S. Senators Patty Murray and Slade Gorton urging an investigation into aviation safety concerns at Sea-Tac Airport, following a KIRO-TV news report that revealed hundreds of unreported near-misses, runway incursions, and mechanical problems documented in NASA AMES files. The RCAA argued that these hidden dangers raised serious questions about the Port of Seattle's plans to expand the airport with a third runway. The letter also requested a moratorium on expansion-related construction permits until a full safety investigation — ideally led by the FAA Inspector General — could be completed. -

1994-05-27Twelve Sites Identified as Potential Supplemental Airports
In May 1994, the Puget Sound Regional Council announced that consultants had identified 12 potential sites for a major supplemental airport in the central Puget Sound region, narrowed down from an initial list of 25 candidates. The sites, stretching from Stanwood in the north to the Tanwax Lake area in Pierce County in the south, were deemed to have no flaws severe enough to rule them out from further consideration. The study was part of a broader effort to determine whether a supplemental airport could relieve pressure on Sea-Tac and potentially eliminate the need for a controversial third runway.
